How to Make the Most of Your 2018 Holiday Travel

Whenever you are planning a vacation, there are always so many things to consider. You have to remember all of the vital items like passports and I.D. cards, on top of all the incidentals. Sometimes the thought of forgetting something important is enough to take the joy out of vacation excitement. Here at Boatsetter, we want you to take a deep breath and remember that travel is supposed to be a balm for your soul. Let us help you take some of the stress out of traveling. Here are five ways that you can make the most of our holiday travel plans.

Prepare

While this might seem like an obvious suggestion, there are plenty of people out there that tend to just wing it when it comes to getting ready to go away. Being prepared will help alleviate a lot of the stress because things can be done systematically and in an orderly fashion. Make lists of things that you will need to pack, that way you can check the items off when they go in your bag. Make a little “travel bible” that contains all of your itinerary plans and reservation confirmation numbers. Having everything properly prepared beforehand will save you from worrying about forgotten items when you reach your destination.

Think Local

The only way to truly get the most out of your travels is to immerse yourself in the local culture. Seek out the unfamiliar! Don’t eat in the same restaurants you have at home- make sure you try new experiences! Of course, you want to consider safety, but you should attempt to do and see as much as you can while you are in a new place. Step out of your comfort zone and live like a local for a few days. Ask around and find out if your destination has any specific holiday traditions. You may find your new favorite way to celebrate!

Roam

This tip may be difficult to accomplish on a short weekend trip, but if you have the time, you should venture out from your main destination and explore the other surroundings. There is so much to see in this world, and each little corner of it has its own set of wonders.

One of the best ways to experience a new place? By boat! Renting a boat in your desired destination allows you to explore and see more than you can plan for on land. Let Boatsetter help you find a boat to charter, no matter where you are vacationing. With 1000s of boats in over 600 locations, you have the ability to cruise rivers, lakes, or the entire sea. It’s as simple as finding a boat for your group, connecting with the boat owner and booking your trip.

We want you to make the most of each and every trip that you take. Whether you are spending a weekend in your hometown or a week in a new destination, go with an open mind and a well-prepared travel plan. With these tips, we know you will make the most of your days spent traveling.
